Evacuation Planning

Drum Cussac has worldwide experience of the preparation, review and activation of workable evacuation plans, providing companies and organisations with a high degree of assurance and safety.

The emphasis of the Drum Cussac consultants is to develop feasible plans, which are simple to both understand and execute. The format is based upon graphical imagery and easy to follow checklists. Additionally, Drum Cussac comprehensively understand the importance of effective decision and communication support mechanisms. This approach is proven and ensures success of an evacuation operation, should an adverse situation develop.

We view rehearsal of a plan as the critical cornerstone of the process, and the consultants will ensure that realistic testing is undertaken to validate the procedures and timelines.

Drum Cussac are able to provide escalating levels of response should an evacuation occur, from advice of security consultants based in our 24/7 operations centre, to the appointment of a dedicated In-country Extraction Manager, or complete Evacuation Response Teams capable of co-ordinating a complete evacuation.
